How Are Child Support Payments Calculated?

While incredibly necessary for a child's well-being, child support is not
always ordered as such. Statistics show that many parents go without sufficient
payments and others do not receive any at all. In a best-case scenario, the
noncustodial parent typically pays a higher amount of support to the custodial parent each
month. A knowledgeable family lawyer can help you determine a fair child
support amount.

The court takes the following factors into consideration before establishing an order:

Monthly earnings of each parent

The number of children involved

Monthly expenses

The amount of time each parent spends with their children

The tax filing status of each parent

Childcare costs

Once the court decides on a satisfactory amount, both parents must abide
by the terms of the order until advised otherwise. Most support orders
last until a child turns 18, gets married, or joins the military. Fortunately,
the court understands that child support payments often require adjustments
and allow either parent to submit a modification request based on a significant
change in circumstances.

It can be daunting to face such a momentous decision on your own and a
lack of legal representation is one of the biggest reasons parents fail
to obtain needed support. My team is here for you. With responsive communication
and an ability to strategize proactively, there is no better firm to tackle
your case.
